Priests are good, but they require a knowledge of the fundamentals of the game before they can be strategically useful. Having a person new at Redemption start out buying Priests is akin to having first-year Algebra students start out with vector calculus. Okay, so maybe Priests aren't that confusing, (neither is vector calculus IMO)  ;) but starting with the basics is generally a better idea. So your suggestion for 3 Women and 1 of each of the other three is good, I'd go with that. You can get Priests, but as I said they are harder for newer players to adapt to right away.

Destroying Angel isn't that great. The only Genesis site that sees more play than a usual site is Sodom, because of Bera, King of Sodom, but even then you won't play a whole lot of people who incorporate that strategy. If you are going to put in Swift, I would say take out Destroying Angel.

WC can be good, depending on your deck. Some of the better (more widely used) WC combos are:

The Rabshakeh and Two Thousand Horses (Or several Absalom's Soldiers all with Two Thousand Horses in Type II)
Captain of the Host and Captain's Sword
Michael and Angel's Sword
King Sennacherib is best and Glittering Spear
David and David's Sling
Abner and Abner's Spear
Phinehas Son of Eleazar and Phinehas' Spear
Blue Hero and Coat of Mail

There are certainly others, but these are the most common ones that I've seen. Don't use too many WC enhancements in a deck, because few of them are battle winners, but using them does sometimes increase your chances of your battle winners being effective.

No, it's a definite maybe. Only if they work for your deck colors/strategy. For instance, Crimson, Black and evil Gold don't have any great WC combos, and neither do Purple or good Gold. (At least none that I can think of right now). So if your decks are those colors then no, but if you use some other colors it may be a good idea.

Silver has some good combos (Michael + Angel's Sword or Michael's Sword, Captain of the Host and Captain's Sword) but evil Gold (the color of all the Egyptian evil characters) doesn't have any WC enahncements that are terribly useful, except for Lahmi's Spear, which can be if you use Lahmi (not an Egyptian).

Michael and Michael's Sword are both in Angel Wars, but a different version of Michael and Angel's Sword are in Kings. All of the rest are Kings as well.

3/2 Silver WC enhancement: "If blocked by a human, hero may play the first enhancement" Meaning that even if opponent blocks your Michael + Angel's Sword with a 1/1 guy, you get to play the first enhancement if you want. Very helpful since Mike's enhancements can't be negated.

Weelll...crimson has a good one. Apprehended(If used by a WC EC then capture a hero). Nothing much else, though.
And then there's the Warrior Class Giant bros.

Angel's Sword is way better.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Michael's Sword looks cooler, but Angel's Sword is indeed far better.
